Solution & explanation

Main line

32... Ng3+ 33. Qxg3 Rxf1+ 34. Rxf1 Qxg3

Why it works

  • Great move! knight to g3 keeps the pressure (+3.4).
  • Well found: rook to f1 (+3.4).
  • Strong! queen to g3 is the sharp choice (+3.6).
  • You win a piece — the queen.
  • If instead Qxg3, then Rxf1+ and you stay on top.
